Residents perform in local Nutcracker production

Several area residents will perform in an upcoming production of The Nutcracker this month. 

This will be the tenth year of the Stevan Grebel Center for Dance performance, which Grebel has directed since the beginning. Grebel’s interpretation is taken after Marius Petipa’s choreography and follows the musical score of Tchaikovsky. This year’s performance will include an onstage reunion of all of Stevan Grebel’s alumni and students of the Alabama Youth Ballet. Alumni will be offered complimentary tickets and will be invited onstage to bow this year. 

“Our favorite part of the performance is seeing how it has become a tradition in the City of Pelham and the surrounding Shelby County area,” Executive Director Deborah Grebel said. “It is a wonderful event for parents, grandparents and families to share with children.”

Residents of the 280 area in the production include Gabriella Winn, Kristian Winn and Sarah Rose. 

Performances will be held Dec. 20 at 7 p.m. and Dec. 21 at 2:30 p.m. at Pelham High School. Tickets are 

$10-$15 for adults and $5-$10 for children.
